Is this cobra neck? Can it be corrected? (Photo)

Cali5472May 13, 2022
I had a deep plane facelift and necklift done five months ago. I am very unhappy with the results. In fact I look worse now than before. I had the procedure to address my jowls and a creepy neck. I can out with a huge saggy chin which I did not have before.Is there any thing to correct this?
